The world of women’s golf is witnessing the rise of a new U.S. superstar: Nelly Korda. With her recent victory at the U.S. Women’s Open held at Riviera Country Club in Pacific Palisades, California on June 7, 2026, Korda has made a significant leap towards becoming the face of American women’s golf. Her triumph, achieved with a one-shot victory, marks her first real women’s golf major.
Korda’s success establishes her as the current No. 1 female golfer in the world. Only five U.S. women have claimed this position since the inception of the women’s world golf rankings two decades ago. Her victory adds to the tally of nine wins by American golfers in the U.S. Open this century, contrasting with ten victories by South Korean golfers.
In the broader landscape of American women’s golf, Korda emerges as a Tiger Woods-like figure—recognized for her dominance and influence on the sport without the controversies associated with Woods.
